Sentra is the AI Data Readiness and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform for the enterprise.
Organizations are deploying AI agents, Copilots, and LLM pipelines faster than theyre governing the data underneath them. Sentra fixes that. We discover, classify, and secure the sensitive data across your entire data estate - cloud, SaaS, and on-premises - so AI systems only reach what theyre supposed to reach.
What we do:
- Continuous data discovery and classification across AWS, Azure, GCP, Salesforce, Databricks, Snowflake, and more
- 98% classification accuracy, context-aware and without custom rules
- AI data governance: know what your Copilot, agents, and RAG pipelines can access before go-live
- Least privilege enforcement at the data layer to reduce breach blast radius
- Agentless, in-environment scanning; no data ever leaves your environment
- Compliance-ready posture for GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI, EU AI Act, and more
Who we work with: CISOs, security engineers, data privacy officers, and cloud architects at enterprises who cant afford to find out what their AI can see after the fact.
Real findings in week one. No tuning. Petabyte scale.
